Whatever happened on Hutton’s Peak was clearly no accident, and with the noose now tightening around Woodville, Josh is left with little choice.

Despite his hatred of implants, those who surrender to the lure of DomiGen, the flickering flame of hope struggles to remain alight as doubts and fear are matched in equal measure. Faced with the reality of losing everything he holds dear, the lines between triumph and disaster blur when each results in the other, and Josh finds himself caught within the twisted thralls of good and evil while those around him continue to fall.

With time running out for a life that can never be returned, forgiveness may come for those who are worthy, and vengeance for those more deserving. But as Josh is confronted with the truth behind Woodville, the secrets of his own past may yet return to haunt him, and the question he must answer is the same as it has been since that fateful night.

Win or lose, there is no victory, and the price that Josh is forced to pay is beyond anything he could ever imagine as the prospect of saving his friend is paled in comparison with the terrifying possibility of what success will undoubtedly unleash. No matter the outcome, one thing is certain. Nothing will ever be the same.... Not for anyone. Anywhere.
